+    Hi, friends! There's a few interesting things happening right now, sorry for
+    the mess! Here's what's up.
+
+    ## Welcome to the new-old site!
+    
+    After working on our new-ish [Impress 2020][impress-2020] site the past
+    few years, we've decided it's not entirely the direction we want to go
+    after all. But also not entirely *not*? We love the HTML5 support, we love
+    how it looks on mobile, and we love some of the new trading features. But
+    in hindsight, we don't think the tech we used is a good choice for the
+    long-term, and we want to help Neopets customization stick around for
+    decades to come.
+
+    **So, we're merging the best parts of Impress 2020 into the original site!**
+    We finally caught up on *many* years of technical upgrades, and cleaned up a
+    *lot* of ancient rubble, so the original site can be a strong foundation for
+    us again—and then we copied over Impress 2020's most important bits of UI, to
+    keep things bright and breezy!
+
+    Here's what you should notice already:
+
+    - **New outfit editor:** The outfit editor is entirely replaced with Impress
+      2020's modern editor, with support for HTML5 wearables and for mobile!
+    - **Simplified login:** We used to have a weird second website for login and
+      account management. That's all merged into the main site now!
+    - **Improved item page:** We copied over Impress 2020's item previewer, so
+      you'll be able to see animated items, and get better support for special
+      colors like Maraquan and Baby!
+    
+    And behind the scenes, we've made this site's code a *lot* simpler and a
+    lot more up-to-date, and dependent on fewer external services, so it should
+    be a lot easier to maintain going forward.
+
+    We're still missing some really important things because we're launching
+    sooner than expected (like outfit saving), but we hope to fill in those
+    gaps soon!
+
+    ## Wait, why the sudden update?
+
+    One of our service providers recently made a change that's been a long time
+    coming, but is unusually difficult to work around. In this case, it would
+    require us to upgrade a *lot* of components of our system that, frankly,
+    we're years behind on updating.
+
+    But this new-old beta site? It's already running on the latest tech, and
+    depends on a lot fewer external services to begin with. So, as a team with
+    limited resources, it felt like a better idea to just skip forward to the
+    beta version that already works, than to split the original site into
+    *another* version of DTI and have *three* copies of the site we're
+    maintaining 😅
+
+    For the most part, I hope you mostly don't feel much of a difference, and
+    that most of the changes feel good? But I also know we're shipping it out
+    earlier than we planned and that's always a bit rough; and I know there are
+    things about the new outfit editor that still aren't ideal for everyone,
+    and I hope we can get those attended to once we have our stronger
+    foundation.
+
+    ## And sorry about all this…
+
+    Sorry for the delay on getting this fixed, there's been a lot of family
+    things to attend to lately, I hope everyone's been doing okay in the
+    meantime!!
+
+    Earlier this year I put out a call for extra help, and I haven't really
+    made good on that either, and I'm sorry for that too… soon after, I
+    realized the help I asked for (continuing to invest in Impress 2020's
+    missing features) didn't actually feel like the right path forward for the
+    site long-term—and that the next step for us (unifying the sites) would
+    kinda be the *worst* time to bring in someone new 😬
+
+    It can be a challenging thing, to have a site going for more than ten years
+    and to not always be in a phase of life to give it the attention it
+    deserves… and to have the weight of your ten-years-younger self's decisions
+    to carry around with it 😅 My hope is that, by cleaning up this decade-long
+    complex sprawling thing, we can build a site that isn't quite so dependent
+    on the ebb and flow of my own personal life… I don't think we're there yet,
+    but I'll do my best to get us there!
+
+    Sorry for the disruption, and I hope these new changes find you well, friends!
